corey0928 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 It is. But thats how it should be set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photochrisb931 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 And a little bit more FYI. It may be worth investing in an O-scope or the SMD dd-1 distortion detector. That will help clean up the sound and very well may take care of the overheating problem. My Zapco before o-scope would fry eggs and clip after gets warm and plays clean.

LoudBimmer Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 i turn gain down just a lil bit, but amp still get's hot so do subs little bit. By ear, i don't hear any clipping, it plays clean. From what i heard, hifonics suppose to get hot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corey0928 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 You can't hear clipping. The amp or subs shouldn't get hot if you aren't having major voltage drop or clipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoudBimmer Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 You can't hear clipping. The amp or subs shouldn't get hot if you aren't having major voltage drop or clipping on juice box-gorilla zoe (defac's version) voltage doesn't drop below 13.5V, and that's on the hardest hits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
